Some days you go shopping and you might as well have stayed in bed, then others are filled with wonderful finds.
Find 1, a cake stand from homebase of all places £5.99 bargain
Find 2, a lovely "wish you were here" cushion from Primark £1 !! How could I not buy it
Then when I got to the till Find 3, a roll of lovely UJ wrapping paper, 6m for £1. So pretty I couldn't resist..
Find 4, I have been looking for hair clips to decorate for my grandaughters for easter and in poundland I found this pack of 30 for.. you guessed it a pound!! They actually do a coloured pack as well but as I'm going to cover then I thought I'd just go for these.
Then we went to Tesco for the weekly shop and I picked up a couple of christmas pressies to go in the cupboard. Find 5, a "santa comes once a year tie" (can't think why they have any of these left lol) £1 and Find 6, 2prs of christmas soxs £1. Think they fall in the under a fiver rule.
Don't you just love a successful day shopping!!
Well this week G is on holiday so apart from taking Daisy for long walks on the beach it has been quiet. I have managed to do some beading (surprise, surprise)
This is the necklace I made at beading on Monday night..
Then I made a bracelet, same pattern but looks totally different..
And now I'm just finishing off another bracelet, this photo doesn't do it justice as it has gorgeous bright red glass beads in the centre of each stich.
Okay off to try and fold my new popup photo tent which arrived after I'd taken these pics, I popped it out but haven't got a clue how to unpop it??

Hi there
Just found you via Claire at 'Are we nearly there yet'. Love your shopping bargains, especially the cushion and the wrapping paper, although the rest of it is pretty good too. Also love the beading, is it hard? That first necklace looks stunning.
